Little Athletes

** I gave the blog a little update! I hope the readers of this blog (aka: our parents) appreciate the update because it took me two hours to figure out how to do it. I don't even like it that much but I don't have another two hours to kill trying to find another background. So we're sticking with this.  **

A couple of weeks ago, Ava and Macy had their first TOT performance. TOT is a program that teaches kids sports skills, teamwork, and a little bit of academics. This program is available at their school as an "extra curricular" activity. There are TOT programs for different sports but the one at A and M's school is for basketball. They were able to show off their skills at a half time performance during a Texas Legends basketball game (D-League basketball team here in Frisco). I have to say I was pretty impressed! They had several different skills that they did and the grand finale was continuous dribbling. Macy was hilarious because there was a huge screen over to one side that showed close ups of the kids. Macy had one eye on that screen almost the whole time. At first, I couldn't figure out what she was looking at then I realized that she was waiting for her close up. She did awesome with the dribbling though. They both did! Santa brought them little basketballs for Christmas so they have been practicing at home. Macy practices her dribbling at home all of the time and it really paid off! They have their big TOT performance in May. I can't wait to see what else they learn between now and then.

 Finally over their fear of big costumed animals.

 Trying to Hula Hoop in the kids area.

Attempting to hula hoop together. In one hoop. Good luck with that.

They have also started playing soccer. These pictures are from their first soccer practice. They were supposed to have their first game on Saturday but it got rained out so I'll have to post next week about their first game. I am sure it will be hilarious!
